Featuring Michael and Jackie Jackson on lead vocals, it was the first single for the group since they departed from Motown earlier that year.

[5] On February 14, 1989, it became the group's second single to be certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in the United States.

A music video, the Jacksons' first, was released in early 1977[7] to promote the single; it features the five Jackson brothers wearing white suits and dancing on a stage.

[8] It was released on DVD for the bonus disc of Michael Jackson's Vision.

The song is credited to Philadelphia songwriters/producers Gamble and Huff; however, a session musician from Gamble and Huff’s in-house band recalled that T.J. Tindall wrote the riff that was the initial spark for the song.
